- exploring scripture lately {Psalm 100} … loving: "Know that the Lord is God, it is he that made us; We are his; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter God’s gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise.
Give thanks to God and bless his holy name. For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever."
